The Centers for Disease Control issued a housing eviction moratorium for counties with “high” or “substantial” coronavirus transmission on Tuesday.
A majority of counties in the U.S. currently record “high” or “substantial” coronavirus transmission, according to CDC criteria.
“This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads,” CDC director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. “It is imperative that public health authorities act quickly to mitigate such an increase of evictions, which could increase the likelihood of new spikes in SARS-CoV-2 transmission.”
The new order will expire on October 3. --->READ MORE HERE
After the Biden administration spent days saying it could not re-impose an eviction moratorium without Congress taking action, it is poised to do just that.
New guidance coming from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will ban evictions in counties in which the CDC says there are high rates of COVID-19 transmission, according to The Hill, which quoted unnamed sources as the basis for its report.
The Hill reported the moratorium would let renters skip out on the payments for another 60 days and said it would cover about 90 percent of renters in the United States.
A ban on evictions was among the relief measures passed in March 2020 when lockdowns led to employers closing their doors, leaving millions unable to pay their rent. Since then, the economy has largely reopened and long-term unemployment has lessened.
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that a plan was in the works. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
